How to decided what spending to stop/let go/sacrifice? How to plan to not spend on things and services in the future?
I canceled two patreons: $6 JS and $27 JHM. But I really did like supporting Jared Halley, grid style cover songs; that loss stings hard. I downgraded Claude, but already remember why I like the max level. I tried to cancel Shutterstock subscription, but there’s a harsh cancellation fee. Canceled Pretty Litter subscription and will switch Max to a cheaper alternative. Couple of other piddly things that I dropped as well this weekend. On average Uber is about $345 monthly. While I have been able to glean all the monthly recurring expenses into a spreadsheet, my tools and brain have yet to know how much I spend on irregular purchases and services and then categorize everything and see the final amounts.
An article about top 10 apps that are replacements for Mint—what I used previously and which closed down a few years ago—I did trials on most of the list. Discouraged how hard it is to find an app that meets my criteria.
Parking spots are available in apartment building. I qualify for Princeton Club discount.
I found a vehicle in my price range. But it got sold while thinking. Now, waiting for dealership salesman to call about other options.

Storm brewing and not a matter of the mystical fairies sorting things out in the background.
